With the crops looking a real picture after the rain, attention turns to the big autumn clear up, and in this episode we put a rather expensive new gadget to the test. We bought a powerful turbine blower from the States, 14,000 cubic feet a minute coming out at around 200 miles an hour, to speed up the long, dusty job of blowing down the combines, which currently takes the team the best part of four or five days a machine. We drag a couple out of the shed to try it, and have an honest, no holds barred debate about whether, at £9,000, it is actually worth the money.

We also walk the emerging wheat and rape, which have transformed in just a few days, and use a vivid real world example to explain why blowing machinery down matters so much for controlling weeds like black grass between farms. Elsewhere there is progress on the accommodation trailer, the fertiliser tanks are being filled, and after another break in, more repairs to the security.

We finish with an honest word ahead of the budget, and the frustrating saga of trying to sort a life assurance policy. From a transatlantic piece of kit to the jobs that fill a wet week, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.
